    Genre-based speaker suggestions…

    I’m getting back into the hobby after 20+ years now that I have the money and a dedicated space for listening (approx 14’x10’ room). I’ve read my ass off over the past couple of months, but so many reviews are based on sterile charts or dominated by folks into Jazz (which I detest) or Classical...

    Help with Console rebuild

    Hi, I have an old (appears to be late 60's) console that I'm updating with modern components and I need some help with equipment recommendations for the space available. I'm trying to do this on as small a budget as possible and still get reliable/decent components. I picked up a Denon...

    New or Vintage Amp for KLH 5

    Hello all! I am looking to create a happy couple with my KLH 5s. I enjoy relaxed listening, my space is small, so I don’t need tons of power. Right now I’m using my Scott 299B and it’s great! The Scott is for my KLH 6s, I had a Marantz Model 22 that was powering my 5s, which is now out of...

    System Advice--recommendations for next upgrade?

    Hi all, I'm hoping this ends up in the right forum. I'm a frequent reader on AK, but I almost never post because I am not very knowledgeable from a technical standpoint and much less knowledgeable than others from the standpoint of sampling a lot of different gear. I love my current gear...

    Power Amp recommendations for Electro Voice Interface D?

    Hi all, I have a lovely pair of interface D's that is part of a DJ/listening setup that i'm interested in getting a more suitable amp for. I'm using a Xone 92 as a "pre-amp" and this cheapo Sony receiver for power and the receiver is starting to give out. I listen to a fairly broad range of...

    Single CD Player Recommendations?

    Hi all, I've currently got a Sony CDP-C515, which works fine, but since I can now stream playlists from my computer the carousel functionality is more annoying than useful. I'm looking to replace it with a cd player that only does 1 disc at a time. I use the optical out to a AudioEngine D1, so...

    Lookin' for Thelonious Monk recommendations....

    I have a decent-sized music collection. I'm sure it pales in comparison to most AK members, but it's good for me. I'm working on widening my horizons. One of the directions I'm exploring is 50s and 60s jazz. In particular, I'm wanting to explore Thelonious Monk's music, and am hoping to pick up...

    Altec 846b's Looking for the Perfect Mate

    I love my Altec Valencia 846b's. They aren't shouty, or brassy, or midrangy; they sing if you ask me. I have had them since I was 14, so for me, it is what speakers should sound like. Led Zeppelin II on any other speakers sounds castrated. But I am ready to up my amp game. I have been...

    Ortofon 2M (Red and 78)

    I'm looking into replacing my current cartridge, as I can't find new styli for it and it doesn't have much clearance on my TT (an AT-LP120). I've decided that I'm likely going to get the Ortofon 2M Red for LP's and (few) 45s. I'm also planning on getting the 78 cart. for 78s and mono LP's. What...
